YM778.TV Chapter 259 - 259
None of them indicated that they were unaware of their duties, making Nisha smile. She gestured to the edge of the island, and the group walked over while following behind her.
Xela then saw three whirlpools spinning in the ocean a few meters offshore. The smallest one had a 5-meter diameter, while the largest was 15 meters. Nisha swam over to the smallest one, the others following behind her.
She then turned to Xela and co. "These whirlpools are the entrances to the various floors. Each floor is unique and separated from the other, so you don\'t need to worry about overcrowding."
"Just jump in and we\'ll be sent to the same floor. Remember, there is a 5-second interval from the entry of the first person. If you jump in after that, you will enter your own floor."
The three took note of Nisha\'s warning with serious expressions. Satisfied, the mage jumped in, followed by Helen the fighter. Lloyd then went in, with Xela and Veri jumping in together.
Once within, they only went straight down like they were falling through a chute, before Xela felt her fall come to a gentle stop. She looked around to see that they were within a strange transparent dome at the bottom of the ocean.
Because they weren\'t yet off the continental shelf, the sun was able to reach here, lighting up the area outside the dome, allowing the party to see the teeming aquatic life that thrived here.
Llyod, Veri, and Xela were lost in the sights while Nisha and Helen smiled. After allowing them to ogle for a minute, Nisha clapped her gloved hands and brought their attention to her.
"Alright, get ready for the first wave. Most of the monsters we\'ll be facing are aquatic lifeforms like Murlocs, Naga, Mermen, and the like. If you have any last-minute preparations to make, you\'d best do them now, because once the waves start, it\'s either we survive till the end, die trying, or escape in time."
The newbie trio nodded. Xela directly took out some of Darius\' scrolls that buffed her. Her MP regen had been increased and the consumption decreased, with her spell power also increasing slightly.
The others also used their various means, everyone getting into a diamond formation with Xela at the center. Nisha was to the south, Helen to the west, Lloyd to the east, and Veri to the north.
Soon, the entire dome rumbled as mangled roars sounded out. From holes within the dome, many aquatic monsters squeezed their way in, bringing in small amounts of seawater with them.
Xela inspected them immediately.
[Murloc Underling - Level 1 Monster
HP: 3/3 MP: 0/0 STA: 5/5]
There were about 20 of these level 1 monsters, which were not even a threat to the group, nothing more than a warm-up to fix their teamwork and cooperation.
Veri fired three shots at once that penetrated the heads of three targets, making Xela nod with praise. Nisha simply cast some cantrips like Ember and flung them on the Murlocs, who screamed as they burned to ashes under the magic fire.
Lloyd was a swordsman who dual-wielded two longswords. With his slim build and black swordsman\'s coat as well as his inner leather armor, he looked quite heroic.
Maintaining his position in the diamond formation, he cut down any Murloc that rushed over, almost cleaving each one into two. He only used one of his blades while the other rested on his shoulder lazily.
Helen laughed lightly as she blasted any Murloc that came close with her legs, sending them splattering against the dome at horrific speeds. With her brown tank top and tight yet flexible pants, she was easily able to move as she wanted.
Xela was left speechless. Working in a team like this was an eye-opener for her who had grown up in the Elven Empire.
Before she had been chosen as a Divine Maiden she hadn\'t even bothered to experience combat.
Even then, she had mostly spent her time healing rather than purging evil or fighting, which was why spells like Restore, Cure, and co were so high in levels while the others were mediocre.
Only Purify had gotten some attention, and even that was because she hadn\'t wanted to offend the Divine Light by neglecting it.
After experience the upheavals of her life that had landed led her to become a product in Foldo\'s gallery, she had decided to change those habits.
Hence, the moment she had free time, she came here to increase her power and refine her skills. In truth, she even wanted to go at it alone, knowing that with the Supreme System, her growth would be fast and unstoppable.
However, she still wisely joined a team so she could understand how things worked in these Vaults so that running them on her own would be easier in the future.
Still, seeing these fellows work their magic systematically was extremely moving for Xela, especially since she was being protected and could clearly see the effects of their actions collectively.
They might not be the best unit because they were formed impromptu, but even individually they couldn\'t be called incompetent.
Nisha and Helen especially showed extreme familiarity with their timing and action, showing that they were veterans.
Llyod\'s swordmanship was a bit rough, looking like something he had acquired by training by himself and not something he had learned from a teacher or school, at least to Xela\'s eyes.
Elves also practiced swordsmanship, and Xela had seen the skills of the other Divine Maidens and Divine Sons who majored with such weapons.
Veri\'s archery though, was flawless in Xela\'s eyes. It was far better than her\'s, but that much should be obvious.
High Elves were better at manipulating raw magic whereas Wood Elves were the bud archers among their race.
Each sub-race had their strength and weakness, though they all shared the same overarching characteristics.
Soon, the level 1 monsters were cleared out and Xela noticed a notification pop up on her screen.
